Message from Donald Hills continued
moving to a new locale. Fearful the highly successful company may leave, local governments, through
their Industrial Development Agencies (IDAs), offer large tax breaks to stay put. Forget 90-year roots in
the neighborhood, let’s have the average taxpayer foot the bill. Why should the huge corporation, earn-
ing hundreds of millions a year in profits, have to pay to spruce up the place?
The county recently announced final approval for Acme’s HQ to receive a large tax aid in the form of an
IDA grant. Tony and I could only shake our heads and agree to meet for a virtual drink next month to
toast the American way.
